Nokia Networks and Intel open up new UK apps innovation centre

Nokia Networks and Intel have announced the joint opening of a new UK mobile broadband innovation centre aimed at building and testing "a new breed" of mobile broadband applications.

The new facility is located in Bath, close to parent company Microsoft's UK head office in Reading, and will look to develop new applications and services based on Nokia Networks' Liquid Applications, powered by Intel technology-based servers, which can bring distributed cloud computing capabilities closer to mobile users.

This includes testing new deployments of cloud-based and local services for content such as in-demand video services, such as instant video replays or player statistics at sports venues, which can be quickly delivered to nearby customers without overloading the network.

"We welcome all operators to join us in this exciting venture which also offers tremendous opportunities for application developers to show their skills to the world," said Dirk Lindemeier, head of Liquid Applications at Nokia Networks.
